Answer 2

Answer: There are 30 golf balls in the bag that weight 1110 grams.

Explanation:

Given : The weight of a bag of golf balls varies directly as the number of golf balls in the bag.

A bag of 69 golf balls weighs 2,553 grams.

Let n be the number of golf balls are in a bag that weighs 1,110 grams.

Then, we have

`\frac{\text{Number of golf balls }}{\text{Weight of bag}}=(x)/(1110)=(69)/(2553)`

`\RIghtarrow\ x=(69)/(2553)*1110=30`

Therefore, there are 30 golf balls in the bag that weight 1110 grams.
